After going on the radio every week for 6 years talking about how evil private schools (Evangel and Calvary) and magnet schools are? I don't think so. There's no way anyone in North Louisiana will hire him or really probably nobody in the whole state for that matter.

Feaster's interview with Tim Fletcher from March 25th, 2016.

Starting at the 2:56 mark, David Feaster talks about how the private schools are gonna separate themselves from the LHSAA and have David Duke as their commissioner (somewhat facetious, but the first name that popped in Feaster's head was David Duke).

Hopefully Parkway HS will promote DC Neil May to HC. I met Neil (great guy!) at a Louisiana Tech football game last year and he told me he would love to see more Parkway kids going to Tech. He wanted Brandon Harris go to Tech instead of LSU.

Re: Feaster fired by Parkway

A ridiculous anti-private school hysteria has swept thru the public school football sector. Recently I had the occasion to speak to a coach from Covington High. During the conversation, with coaches from several other schools, he says, "Well, we won't be scheduling those Rummel "animals" ever again!" I asked for clarification. He said the past two seasons (home and home) Covington lost 7 players to career-ending injuries in the games vs. Rummel. So, I said "Really? You don't think that injuries happen, and those just happened to happen...." He cut me off, while shaking his head emphatically, "No! They are too big, too fast, and play the game at a different level." Another coach, from another public school, put in, he didn't find that much difference, and cited a game they played vs. another public school when they had two players severely injured.

Eventually, the coach from Covington backed off a little, especially after I told him I played for Rummel and just didn't buy this whole nonsense about private schools recruiting and playing "animals."

That's what it has become. A hysteria. Some years, the best high school football teams, say the top 2 or 3, and say 7 of the top 10, are private schools, and sometimes it is public schools. It's an ebb and flow, based on who has the most senior teams, with maturity and experience. It is bullshit! to say that private schools have separated and play "at a different level." I will agree that most private schools maintain a certain, consistent level, year over year. Look at Rummel this past year. We were not very good, finished 7-4. It was a down year. But, we were still competitive and could have beaten, on any given Friday night, anyone in the state.

I want the whole 5A back together again. Let the better teams win. And I'll bet you right now, that over a ten-year span, the 5A champion will be split about equally, 5-5, between private and public schools.

And those public schools who are snowflakes, can opt to play down a level or two. That would make for a very competitive 5A playoffs every year.

I'm told, through the coaching vine, the coach and principal were headed down this path. Principal had notified the coach the school was gonna start taking a cut on the football revenue and, of course, the coach started balking.
